RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted May 22, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 22, 2018 Great walk, you can almost believe you’re a slow moving 7F, and the tunnel stretch is most unusual. There’s the pub at Midford, and I think it’s an hourly bus service to get back to Bath, but not much transport at Wellow. I certainly sound like a slow moving 7F as I walk.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianusa Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 So called developooers are the bane of any nice town anywhere! Under the guise of providing more homes for more people, they come in and destroy the environment, rip out trees and leave a barren landscape so they can build hundreds of homes 'made of ticky tacky and they all look the same' (if you remember the song!), make money and move on to the next despoilment. Bath is fortunate - we weren't so lucky! Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianusa Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Nice. I can see the chippy on the left. Here's a view of a previous buffer stop. I like buffer stops..... The gradient sign looks a bit incongruous considering its proximity to the buffers where they are located now, but adds interest to the location and the photo. Apart from the missing lamp, the buffers looks like the old original. Brian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted June 21, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 21, 2018 Pretty certain the gradient sign does refer to the change in gradient for the slipway. The photo is from the thirties when the slipway was taken out of use and the buffers repositioned as a result. Tims photo is that of a buffer stop erected in 2015 as close to the position of the original as could be placed,given changes made to the area. Rob.

RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted June 22, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 22, 2018 ............. I like buffer stops..... Here's another for you Rob. This is at the end of the Exeter City Basin taken about 12 years ago (or maybe more...!) when CK and l had a poke about. I fancy that it's still there, with branch still attached, somewhere in the bushes! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the lines suggested to be re-instated as a Dawlish alternative. Just before the stops there are several remnants of pointwork. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted June 22, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 22, 2018 Thanks John. Very nice. I will only have a couple of buffer stops on Bleat but will try to introducd a bit of character to them. Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianusa Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 One of my favourites; buffers in the bushes or better still lines disappearing into overgrown jungles. Its surprising there aren't more modelled as there are still plenty of examples around. Brian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
